Review on Review: Wilton Boye Scarf Loom, 1 - Complete Guide and Features Explained by Denise Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointing - BEWARE the finished product will only be half what you expect!

I'm disappointed. I had never used a loom for knitting before so this turned out to be more difficult than I expected. The notches could have been better designed to allow the work to be pushed down after tying the thread. INSTEAD I had to pull EVERY stitch down which meant it took twice as long to knit the scarf. This step is completely skipped in the instructions. Also, the instruction photos show an end pin that is not present on this unit. You could probably just tie the end of the yarn around the loom itself, but you're not told that, so if you're a beginner you'll have to puzzle over what to do. - which could easily be solved - the item will be only HALF THE WIDTH as you think you will make it. If only they had MENTIONED it in the instructions it could have saved a lot of frustration. I had an embarrassingly thin scarf, only 3.5 inches wide (double knit uses 16 pegs). :( (I know, I know I had to take it apart and redo it as soon as I realized it was shrinking...)

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some errors
